If you're looking for the perfect drink to serve on your big day, here are some of the top signature cocktails making waves in the wedding scene this year.

1. The Golden Hour Spritz | Refreshing Wedding Cocktail

Inspired by the dreamy hues of sunset, this cocktail is a refreshing blend of Aperol, elderflower liqueur, sparkling wine, and a splash of passion fruit juice. Garnished with an edible flower or a dehydrated orange slice, it’s as stunning as it is delicious. Perfect for the summer months!

2. Lavender Love Martini | Elegant Floral Cocktail

Floral flavors are taking center stage in 2025, and the Lavender Love Martini is leading the way. Made with gin or vodka, lavender-infused syrup, lemon juice, and a hint of honey, this sophisticated drink is topped with a sprig of fresh lavender for an elegant touch. Add this to your drink list for your spring or summer wedding!

3. Spiced Pear Old Fashioned | Cozy Fall Wedding Drink

For couples who love a popular classic with a twist, this Old Fashioned variation brings in warm notes of spiced pear, cinnamon, and bourbon. It’s the perfect cozy cocktail for fall and winter weddings, served over a large ice cube with a cinnamon stick garnish.

4. Berry Blush Mule | Signature Cocktail for Spring & Summer

A vibrant take on the Moscow Mule, this version features muddled berries, ginger beer, lime juice, and vodka. Served in a copper mug with a fresh basil or mint garnish, it’s a crowd-pleaser for spring and summer celebrations. Pro tip - blackberries are one of the best berries for this delicious cocktail!

5. Rose Gold Fizz | Best Champagne Cocktail for Weddings

This glamorous drink combines rosé champagne, peach purée, and a splash of elderflower liqueur. Light, fruity, and effortlessly chic, it's perfect for a toast-worthy moment. A great way to fancy up a champagne toast or champagne wall!

6. Tropical Sunset Margarita | Beach Wedding Signature Drink

Margaritas remain a wedding favorite, but this version takes it up a notch with a blend of tequila, mango purée, coconut cream, and a chili-salt rim. It’s a great choice for beach or destination weddings.

7. His & Hers Duo Cocktails | Custom Wedding Bar Menu

Instead of one signature drink, many couples are opting for a his and hers or theirs and theirs pairing. Think of a bold, whiskey-based drink for one and a fruity, bubbly cocktail for the other—something that reflects each personality and makes the celebration even more unique. Give these cocktails creative names unique to you and your fiancè for a bit of added personality!

8. Mocktail Magic: The Cucumber Mint Refresher | Non-Alcoholic Wedding Drinks

With more guests opting for alcohol-free options, mocktails are taking center stage. This refreshing blend of cucumber juice, mint, lime, and sparkling water offers a sophisticated and hydrating alternative for those who prefer to skip the booze. What’s even better, no one (except you) will know you’re drinking an alcohol free drink!

9. Pet-Inspired Cocktails | A Toast to Your Furry Friend

Many couples are honoring their beloved pets by crafting signature cocktails inspired by their fur color or personality. Whether it’s a rich and velvety Espresso Martini to match a chocolate Labrador, a Gold Rush Bourbon Cocktail reminiscent of a golden retriever’s coat, or a Blueberry Gin Fizz to capture the essence of a gray or blue-coated pet, these custom drinks add a heartfelt and unique touch to your wedding bar. Don’t forget a fancy, edible drink topper with your pets face on it!
